How do you know each other ? This looks like your channel. Like you own / Run it I mean. I'm not hatin' I'm just curious. Either this is yours or Rita is a super fan of yours !?!
@@RitaChinese How do you know each other ? This looks like his channel. Like he owns / Runs it. It's no bad thing, I'm just curious. Either this is Chris' channel or you Rita are a huge super fan !?!
@@roselylez Oh of course. I have seen them plenty of times now I think about it. But that's even more confusing ! Why are husband and wife commenting as if they are two strangers ?
I'd love to see more rap breakdown videos, that was amazing! How come I didn't think about doing this before??? Thank you so much for your time and effort you put to make us improve!
I used the music method with Spanish and it's great but was struggling with Chinese music; this helps me understand why! I would definitely watch more rap-explanation videos that you walk through!
This has literally become my favorite Chinese learning channel omg! Your videos are well executed and your explanations are very easy to understand Rita! Will you also make videos on here about textbook phrases vs real-life everyday phrases like you do on IG? I think it really helps understanding how natives actually speak Chinese in everyday conversations!
Thank you so much!! And thank you for your idea! I'll definitely think about it, and make a long video for this RUclips channel when I find some rules or maybe have some more thoughts beyond the specific words, I can make sure that the video will help Chinese learners better - rather than some scattered words you know😉
Even though, sometimes pop songs may drop pronunciation and tones, I think that it is still a good way to learn. It also depends on how much effort you want to put into really learning the words from the song. There are also some pop songs that are slow that may be easier to understand what they are saying (like JJ Lin 林俊杰 songs). For me, pop songs and rap songs has helped me a lot to continue learning, but I do understand how at the beginning, rap may be easier to listen to, so that you don’t develop bad habits. 谢谢老师！
This video is amazing! There is a lot of informative learn Mandarin content on RUclips but most of it is boring. This channel is BOTH entertaining and extremely informative, Brilliant :D
Totally agree! As someone who puts huge emphasis on tonal accuracy, I find that learning songs is actually something that beginners should avoid. It’s best used as a way to grow your vocabulary AFTER you’ve mastered pronunciation and tones.
Thanks for the explained, and yes, I would love to see more rap break down videos! This is awesome. Love the tip about slowing down the playback speed, too.
I started learning Chinese just because of rap. I've listened to rap music for more than thirty years. A couple of years ago I discovered some amazing Taiwanese artists and also fell for the language. Now I listen more rap in Chinese than in English. Hahaha. The music is so good. I really like Lu1 from China. I love his voice.

Just had to say, you are the BEST Mandarin-learning content creator on the internet right now. Your explanations are so simple and understandable. You’ve clearly mastered the subject. I’m so thankful for these videos. In case you had a semblance of a doubt in your mind about your abilities, YOU ARE AWESOME! I already see the rise of Fan Laoshi. More videos! More breakdowns! 《阿斯匹林》by 王以太?《不用去猜》by Jony J? Just suggestions, np 哈哈
Awww thank you so much, Aaron! Comments and encouragement like your words mean the world to me and all content creators who work really hard to share what we know😊 Really appreciate it! And the songs you mention are great works that definitely are worth a listen! Thank you so much for your recommendations👏👏
I really like how diverse your example sentences are! I like to save them to Anki for studying. Oftentimes (e.g. on Chinese Grammar Wiki) the sentences mostly use the same vocabulary over and over again.
Love these videos!!! I agree rap has been very useful for me with language learning. Also I just noticed that chronological layout of the video at the bottom of the screen! So awesome!!! Such a great feature, and it's very appreciated!
I usually have absolutely zero interest in rap. Now I want to listen to all the Chinese rap music. Thanks so much for an interesting and helpful video, presented in a really fun way, and for painting rap in a new light :)
Hahah my pleasure! I just made a video recommending more female rappers' songs. There's controversy on rap music in the US and in China, but let's take it as some fun practicing materials!
hi Rita! I'm of Chinese descent but I grew up in france and my mandarin sucks hahaha. I'm glad I randomly found your channel. Your videos address different topics and are all very accessible, interesting and organized. Thank you so much!! Keep up the good work🤗
I have actually been wondering about it for some time, so it’s great to see a video about it. I have thought for a while that popular Chinese pop songs isn’t great for learning Chinese (unless you’re an advanced learner). Because of the dropped tones and because of the words that are typically used in these songs are, as you mention in your video, just not used as often in the daily life. Great video, I’ll definitely check out the rap songs you recommended!
Pop songs in every languages usually use poetic words that is cringy for daily conversation. Even English pop song isn’t a good tool to learn conversational English. Just try to speak English in the way of English love song Ballad, any native speakers will think you are cringe. Pop song is a good tool for learn basic poem in a language.
This is the best most educational Chinese language channel. Rita has the best, most unique content and you can tell she really knows her stuff!! Thank you!!
I would love more rap-song-based learning ideas. But I need to be able to practice separately from your input to get a bit further in my chinese speaking skills!
once again here to learn some more stuff! Love the videos despite being knew and are helping despite it being 4 days now lol. However these tips are helping me someone in the UK with no Chinese people around me find stuff to immerse myself in a Chinese environment!
I honestly never liked rap.. till I hear the song you introduced here. I don't know why but it does sounds great in mandarin. Surprised discovery for me today ha ha
Awesome!! 小鬼 actually used to rap in a pretty old school style which could be more useful than Kris Wu's more melodic/autotoned songs! And glad you liked this kind of video! More is coming😄🙌
As a Singaporean Chinese, I've found my pronunciation to be terrible (with a mix of Singaporean, Beijing, and Taiwanese accent) and somehow gravitated to your videos. This has been great to watch haha. 谢谢你的视频让我能注意到自己哪里发音不对哈哈哈。原来我的ji qi xi发音都被周董搞乱了...
I wonder if you can talk about the differences between male and female speaking pattern in Chinese in a future video! because some people tell me that my Chinese sounds like an old 叔叔 in the park 😅 😂😂 or maybe you could recommend a female actress or podcaster that I could imitate.. thanks a lot ❤️
Haha did you talk to mid-age male natives a lot? That's interesting! And thank you for the question - it's definitely a super interesting topic to talk about! As for the recommendation, if I know what you voice sounds like, it might be easier to suggest someone who has similar voice for you to imitate😊 DM me on Instagram maybe?
As a musician I was confused as to how a Chinese speaker could sing and if the tone dictated their notes. This cleared a lot up for me, thank you very much! Now I don't gotta worry about the tone part if I wanna sing in the language. :)
Great analysis and breakdown of the Chinese rap lyrics. I would love to see more especially all the dramatic rap disses that's been lighting up the chinese Twitter. I think there's an interest in how much work and thought goes into each punchline. Xinjiang also has a pretty good rap scene that needs to be mentioned.
This channel is amazing. This video made me subscribe. When the "made in china" clip played I lost it!😂 I just started learning Chinese but I've been focusing on basically only listening for months now. I want to be able to distinguish tones and sounds before I really try to actively recreate them and one of the ways in which I do that is rap. I also love Bohan Phoenix who does a lot of bilingual rap. I've learned many phrases/parts of speech through just listening, such as 对， 为什么 ，Or 一点点。Thanks Chinese rap! Please make more videos like this!! Your videos have made certain doubts about pronunciation very clear for me. I taught myself Spanish but Chinese is far more different, and your channel has been entertaining and educational! 谢谢！
I am certainly gonna try this. I've been trying to learn chinese on and off for quite a while........ without much progress. However...when I felt that I did make progress...life happened and I had to restart everything a few times. Maybe this will help me keep going and not just give in. Chinese is such an interesting language. Thank you for this great video
You’re very welcome! It’s actually an important aspect of language learning - keep yourself motivated! The learning materials that you choose matter a lot!
I really like the rapsong-lyrics-breakdowns. Because analysing lyrics myself, I don´t get a lot. After watching you analyse, I can focus on listening. Please do more of those. Thank you
pleeeeASSSEEE make more videos on Chinese rap! I discovered it a few years ago, but because I'm just learning the language I don't know the references in a lot of the songs and the words are hard to translate sometimes because I have to navigate Chinese websites with limited knowledge of the language for research. Reminds me, also, a video about how to navigate Chinese websites and common phrases used there would also be helpful... Thanks so much your videos are amazing.
Great video! I've never considered rap before and have only listened to pop songs, despite knowing the effect of melody over tone. Would love to see a follow-up video with a female rapper!
i actually use songs expetially rap to practice speed at reading pinying and pronunciation. i dont care for the tones when i rap i just try to imitate how they rap. my new challenge is the song 'life is struggle' by vava a really fast song
I ust started learning, and this is something I have been trying to figure out! Thank you for the suggestions.....Now I just need to be 15 years younger and know how to find chinese rappers....
Rap was definitely one of the things I didn't think I would ever notice in my entire life. Still, this guy's song and groove are beyond belief catchy, I almost memorized the song already
well songs always help everyone learn a language, but on the matter of rap songs I do think there's some major reasons many singers like to modify the pronounciation to fit to the flow of the vocal delivery without making it sounds too harsh and off the beat at certain times First major reason is Mandarin has almost no silent consonants, it used to have but that was theoretically before the Yuan Dynasty, 700+ years ago, not that it's that important to mention anymore. And example is how you would pronounce "sad" or "Match", the d at then end of sad and t at middle of match are the silent consonants. Second reason is all major Sinitic language varieties are monosyllabic, one word is just one sound. Combining these two factors you get a language that relentlessly pushes air out of the mouth without grabbing it back and having lots of glottal stops being monosyllabic, it's certainly conveying information in a denser way but when you try to say it extra fast with all kinds of exotic melodies, then it's guaranteed your intonation will need to be somewhat altered and pronunciation clearness will too be changed just to fit the song well, I mean you wouldn't wanna cringe your listeners with major off-beat harshness just trying to pronounce everything exactly the standard right? That works occasionally with traditional melodies mash into modern electronic ones but you get my meaning, it's highly limiting what you could do.
Another great video ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I once had a Chinese teacher teaching me a song and then I realized when she read the lyrics it sounded completely different than actually singing it.. it felt so weird 😅😅 now I finally know it's because almost no tone or stress rules apply in songs! thanks for breaking down that rap song.. very very helpful 我给你点了个赞，你注意到了吗？哈哈
Haha I can imagine that. And for some reasons, 童话Tóng Huà, 甜蜜蜜Tián Mì Mì and 朋友Péng Yǒu are like the TOP3 Chinese teachers' favorites for teaching. Maybe 月亮代表我的心 as well. Hope things have changed now😆 And so happy that you find the rap song useful! 也谢谢你的点赞❤😄
Very helpful video, your content is really good and I hope your channel will grow because you deserve it! :D Oh and thanks for reminding me of Avril Lavigne, brings back childhood memories haha
词牌 is the closest Chinese term I have found to "metrical feet": You sing really well. You should make videos about whatever you love, so if you're into rap please please do. I shall try to read up about 词牌 but feel free to tell me how smart you are in that particular way!
I would like to find this song in Pin ying to sing a long but I couldn’t find it anywhere on google. And I love the song, I did found the artist on my Apple Music but I couldn’t find this song and it’s really catchy, I think It’ll be easy to memorize it.
Rap was definitely one of the things I used a lot to work on pronunciation, flow, and speaking speed. Love it!
Especially some Beijing rappers/crews, I assume😎😆🙌

the product quality of your videos is nothing short of outstanding! I'm in awe! can't wait to see the channel grow. you have a new subscriber in me :)
I would always try to figure out how Chinese can be sung. Because you have to seriously drop the tones. Great video!
Yeah it's just melody when the syllables are sung out in melodic songs😊
Oh, I really like this method, hope you break down more rap songs, the rap example song was really cool.
Great analysis and breakdown of the Chinese rap lyrics. I would love to see more especially all the dramatic rap disses that's been lighting up the chinese Twitter. I think there's an interest in how much work and thought goes into each punchline. Xinjiang also has a pretty good rap scene that needs to be mentioned.

well songs always help everyone learn a language, but on the matter of rap songs I do think there's some major reasons many singers like to modify the pronounciation to fit to the flow of the vocal delivery without making it sounds too harsh and off the beat at certain times
First major reason is Mandarin has almost no silent consonants, it used to have but that was theoretically before the Yuan Dynasty, 700+ years ago, not that it's that important to mention anymore. And example is how you would pronounce "sad" or "Match", the d at then end of sad and t at middle of match are the silent consonants.
Second reason is all major Sinitic language varieties are monosyllabic, one word is just one sound.
Combining these two factors you get a language that relentlessly pushes air out of the mouth without grabbing it back and having lots of glottal stops being monosyllabic, it's certainly conveying information in a denser way but when you try to say it extra fast with all kinds of exotic melodies, then it's guaranteed your intonation will need to be somewhat altered and pronunciation clearness will too be changed just to fit the song well, I mean you wouldn't wanna cringe your listeners with major off-beat harshness just trying to pronounce everything exactly the standard right? That works occasionally with traditional melodies mash into modern electronic ones but you get my meaning, it's highly limiting what you could do.
Wow thank you for sharing your insights on this! Very in-depth perspectives👍😄
That's what i was thinking long time ago . I never relied on songs
Actually it really help improve my chinese as well if your videos were completely in Chinese😌
Another great video ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I once had a Chinese teacher teaching me a song and then I realized when she read the lyrics it sounded completely different than actually singing it.. it felt so weird 😅😅
now I finally know it's because almost no tone or stress rules apply in songs!
thanks for breaking down that rap song.. very very helpful
我给你点了个赞，你注意到了吗？哈哈
Haha I can imagine that. And for some reasons, 童话Tóng Huà, 甜蜜蜜Tián Mì Mì and 朋友Péng Yǒu are like the TOP3 Chinese teachers' favorites for teaching. Maybe 月亮代表我的心 as well. Hope things have changed now😆
And so happy that you find the rap song useful! 也谢谢你的点赞❤😄
9:24 yess pleaseeeee !!♥️♥️♥️
Very helpful video, your content is really good and I hope your channel will grow because you deserve it! :D
Oh and thanks for reminding me of Avril Lavigne, brings back childhood memories haha
hahah very nostalgic!
You should make those videos which you enjoy most; then your enthusiasm shows through and you will devote yourself best to the task.
That's so true! You could see that I'm really enjoy what I'm doing in the video, yeah?
@@RitaChinese Yes. so much so I wish you had a single twin sister!
You are happy and enthusiastic, which makes your teaching more effective.
Thank you for introducing me to Teresa Teng ❤️ she’s a lovely queen. Fly high angel
More video like this please 😍😍♥️♥️
Will do😎🙌
let's dive in fellas
The only Chinese rapper I know is Hua Chenyu, I love learning about new artists, especially if I can learn at the same time!
I think 魔方大厦 was a reference to the animated series in the 90s, not an actual building
Please do a similar one with a female rapper 😊
For sure! Will do😄🙌
I love it, more!
Just made a new video about Chinese rap!
Make more videos like this
More is coming up!!
词牌 is the closest Chinese term I have found to "metrical feet":
You sing really well. You should make videos about whatever you love, so if you're into rap please please do. I shall try to read up about 词牌 but feel free to tell me how smart you are in that particular way!
I would like to find this song in Pin ying to sing a long but I couldn’t find it anywhere on google. And I love the song, I did found the artist on my Apple Music but I couldn’t find this song and it’s really catchy, I think It’ll be easy to memorize it.
